She Was Disliked for Packing Leftovers, but Her Daughter-in-law Went Crazy with Regrets after the Breakup
About This Novel
We had a family dinner on the weekend and finished the meal at an outside restaurant. Seeing that there were a lot of almost untouched dishes left on the table, I felt it was a pity and asked the waiter to bring some take-out boxes. My daughter-in-law Liu Yang's face immediately dropped, and she lowered her voice and said, "Mom, what are you doing? How embarrassing! Look at which tables around here are packed?" I said while loading the dishes, "Aren't these all bought with money? What's left is such a waste. I can take it back and heat it up for a meal tomorrow, so I don't have to cook it again." I turned my head away in disgust: "I don't eat leftovers, it's not healthy. Besides, is our family short of money? My mother goes out to eat with us and never packs anything. She said that when we go out, we just want to have a good face and be happy. You make us like poor ghosts." My hand holding the packing box stopped in mid-air, and I felt very uncomfortable. I lived frugally and gave all my pension to their family. Unexpectedly, my frugal habit became "embarrassing" in her eyes. I looked at my son who was coming back after paying the bill. He noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and just smiled awkwardly: "Mom, forget it, don't ask for it, let's go home." This "forget it" completely chilled me. Not only did I lose the "face" of my daughter-in-law, but my son also felt that I was not worthy of the spotlight. I placed the packing box heavily on the table and looked at them: "Yes, I am used to being poor and I have disgraced you." "From now on, you live your life with dignity. I will go back to my hometown and continue to live my shameful life!"
